Currently at TIGJam. So I present Kitten Hunter Super 3! (Made for a 1 hour challenge, so it’s a lot shonky. Find 16 kittens to win. Used a ColourLovers palette to make it more fun.)
First, here is an interview with me on TIGSource. Thanks Mr. Alex/Fuzz!
Second, I’ve updated! This site is now just a little bit more shiny. (Me and WordPress, we had a falling out once, but I decided to give it another go.)
I made some terrible tiny games. Japanophilia and Anyone Can Ride A Fucking Dog. Both were made just for a laugh in only four hours. Japanophilia is a tiny bit NSFW (it’s not graphic, but you might feel a twinge of shame.)
I promise to make a real game soon! I have something sitting waiting for music, which I’ll put up asap!
I entered Ludum Dare!
The theme was caverns. I made a tiny platformer called Miner Distraction. It looks like this:
The download for it is here. (Windows only, 6mb, was made in Construct so you need you DirectX up to date). Or! There is a quickplay version on Game Jolt here.
For those who do not know about Ludum Dare, it’s a contest in which you have to make a game from scratch in 48 hours. As such, there’s only so much you can do! This game could likely do with a couple of more days of development, as I would have liked to implement dialogue and some sound. But I was trying out Construct for the first time, and fumbled with it a bit, which ate up a bit of time. It was fun to make though, and interesting to design a level quickly and quite organically in Photoshop rather than a tile editor. ^o^ Mostly, I’m happy with the amount I got done in such a short amount of time, even though it’s not perfect. I might clean it up a bit later, but for now, it’s fine.
Tanaka’s Friendly Adventure is available on kongregate! Port courtesy of the lovely Miroslav Malesevic. Yay, I am glad that everyone can play it now, not just people on Windows. ^o^ Nice work, mirosurabu!
Also, check out this livejournal post of awesome! So much love!!!
Finally, I made a twitter account.
Hooray, some people have been posting about Tanaka:

Ah, it makes me so happy! Truly, gives me the warm fluffy feelings. :D
But other than that, a couple of people made fanart…
Awesome Rubik’s cube Tanaka by Lemming
Lovely Paulo fanart by Dr. Salt
Fanart is true love! :D
Also, I found this little Flash app that someone made after playing Tanaka.
Meep, I innocently released a game without making a website. Apologies if anyone stumbles across this tiny page! For now:
This is Tanaka’s friendly adventure! You can download it here. Windows only, sorry! It’s about 3mb in smallness. The goal is to find friends to go to your party.
Today I painted the eye on my daruma.
I bought this daruma a few years ago, but never had any projects which I thought were worthwhile painting the eye for. Mostly as I already have pretty good motivation for other things, and also because I’ve already started a lot of my other non-game projects. So it felt a little lame to use my daruma for those.
Maybe one day I can paint in the other eye. :)
